Has MN lost its sense of humour?

I like DaisyDoo or DaisyDoesDallas (ok, maybe not the latter)

but I think my personal favourite would have to be DaisyDiddyDiddyDumDiddyDoo

no, somethign altogether lovelier is required... daisysomething certainly...

Daisybump was actually the name of my cat and nothing to do with me being pg, but I thought something along the lines of Daisyflab would be more appropriate, or Daisycantshiftthefatfortoffee

i'm finding it hard not to do At Work, tutter...

happy to move on, daisy, i imagine it is easy to forget that the title bumps and rebumps all the time. (although you might also want to remember that other posters Can Actually See what is posted on the ante-natal threads too, so much as your post is welcome i'm not completely sure you're all singing from the same hymn sheet...)

anyway, on to more important matters. what are you going to be called when you don't have a bump any more?

good post daisy

think aitch and i both happy to move on, tbh - the thread starters are Other People Entirely

(aitch oh aitch please say it's ok that i have started compulsively Using Capitals)

AitchTwoOh and Tutter....It all just seems to have gotten out of hand and we would like to forget it and move on, inspite of several threads today which seem to want to keep the animosity going (and not from us 'antenatalers' I might add)

As someone who has struggled to get this far (2mcs before this pg) I should have had more sense and realised that the title was a bit OTT, and you do forget that other people can see it all the time. The latest one was a done on the back of yesterdays goings on...we are a hormonal, reactive bunch after all. It'll be gone in a day or two as we can talk for our contries.

So, if we promise to be a bit more thoughtful in future, can the posts that are being put up in order to provoke further reaction from us please stop?

daisybump, tbh i was v careful about the wording of my post as i wanted to avoid any defensive backlash

with hindsight i plain wimped out

fair enough, daisybump, i do think it made a point which was obviously ignored. also, in all sincerity if you mean the 'make something up to take offence at' thread title, that doesn't exactly shriek of penitence.
there's a weird 'us and them' thing with the ante-natal threads, i think. the idea, surely, is to be part of an online community, not a fortress that assumes any question on grounds of taste comes from 'twunts' with no sense of humour. i have a cracking sense of humour, for the record. i'm happy that people have been luckier having children than i have, but i know how very upsetting i'd have found that title once. i'd never have said anything then, though, i'd just have felt sick every time it came up on active convos.

Everyone trying to out PC the next person and everyone stomping off over this of that being said.

If thats not funny i don't know what is.

Without it all kicking off again AitchTwoOh...

The only comment we received before your post yesterday was.....

lol, you antenatalers do like to risk having the MN finger wagged at your thread titles don't you

Not exactly a damning indictment of the title is it or a request for us to change it and as there was no request to change it, we could hardly be accused of refusing to change it....and for the record we did apologise and we have started a new thread.

Twig i think i love you.

You seem to have reached enlightenment, but are still kind of tough. Maybe like bulletproof monk?

have I missed a food row?

sigh

I like rolling out "everything in moderation" or seeing how many times it is posted

then someone says "would you have heroine in moderation" completly overreacts and then it combusts

oh shite ... were you thinking about my food thread going psycho?

that was just one of those things and it was only a few posters who have incredibly strong feelings about food that objected .. water under the bridge .. d'ya hear it lapping

'course you were...

ellie, actually what was completely, completely different about that was that you ladies were surprised by the response, went 'yikes, sorry' and changed it accordingly. on the other thread someone had pointed out that the title might upset people long before my thread was started and they had refused to change it. and i did actually put a question in the OP, it wasn't just a moan, but most people didn't answer it.

anyway, cod's right, it's probably not a good idea to go over it all again. looks like connie's just stirring the shit again...

Twig's right, a bit of fucking consideration for the other users of the site and their sensitivities wouldn't go amiss. i wouldn't start an OP talking about my lovely friend who's just had the worst childbirth in history and her boy is damaged as a result, would i? i'd think 'no, that might frighten some of the pregnant ladies, i'll keep it to myself'.

and am still smiling at rowan's genital fear. she's so right, you know. fanjo's not funny any more. all mimsy were the borogroves...

It's all the aIBU threads, turning everyone into moaners!

this kind of inward thread never helpos wnayone

not all A/N thread posters go nowhere else, i go all over the boards but i started out as, and still am, an A/N club member.

for what it's worth, i don't think they are done to annoy the rest of you, one of my thread titles caused offence a while ago, and we did try to make sure it wouldn't upset anyone, just sometimes our pg brains don't work so well and we failed

I think it was decided yesterday that CD wasn't HunkerMunker.

Ive just spent last half hour on a thread that says youve flounced.
